    So the only inverts I have right now are the CuC, which is just a bunch of snails (my hermits were banished to the fuge for killing 3 turbos!!).

    I want something new, and thought I would ask for everyone's suggestion. Btw - this is still my first SW tank so I'm a noon with inverts. I just want some stuff that will add some variety to the tank.

    Tank:
    55 Gallon FOWLR (may pick up some shrooms next week though)
    Fish:
    Firefish, pair of occ clowns, and a rusty angel.

    Thanks for any suggestions!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The larger Brittle Stars, but I would stay away from the Serpent stars.

    Fire shrimp and Sexy shrimp are my favorite shrimps.

    Emerald crab if you have some algaes for it to eat.

    I wouldn't recommend a coral banded shrimp for these reasons:
    it kills every other invert you have and may almost never come out like mine, and
    it sometimes will try to eat other fish if you don't feed it right
